Strippers and Soy Sauce
Bave New World was the initiator of the Karaoke Dining experience in Bristol, and as far as I know, the only left standing!
Its also a very bright modern place,at one end of the restaurant you have the tables, mainly seated in long rows, then at the other end, you have the stage ready for the moment you've stuffed your face and then are ready to receive your audience!
The food is set in very long serving trays at the far end of the room, theres the usual big mix of different chinese dishes, sweet and sour, curry, things in black bean sauce, as well as starters, of course chips as well!
But then you also have the soups and the peking duck. Theres also a wide range of drinks, with them being bar prices rather than restaurants. It can be a long walk from the food back to your table though so be wary of having too many drink and wobbling past the other diners!
New Worl proclaim themselves to be child-friendly, but I would be a little wary of this. We were going to be going there for my daughters 16th birthday and take along my 8yr old son as we had done on several occasions. But because it was a Saturday night I phoned to double check he would be ok to go.
And a good job I did! They informed me that they had no problems with children at anytime, but I was to be aware that they had a hen party that evening.
Not only that, the male stripper was booked for 7.30! Now I have problems with my 16yr old seeing a male stripper, let alone my 8yr old! Perhaps I'm a bit of a prude, but is a family restaurant the place for this? Admittedly it was a Saturday night, but even so, perhaps later on in the evening when most of the younger people would be gone?
